This study compares memory consolidation during natural sleep and propofol-induced anesthesia, finding that sleep preserves memory while anesthesia impairs it, likely due to disrupted spindle coupling during slow oscillations.

This study shows that reduced NREM theta power in hippocampal CA1 dysfunction impairs memory consolidation during sleep in humans with transient global amnesia.

The paper tests if post-encoding sleep improves visual pattern completion from degraded cues and finds that slow-wave amplitude during sleep predicts better consolidation of learned scenes under maximal degradation.
